I actually survived that mess.
Biggest surprise? Helen Thomas isn't on the list.

Right Wing Bloggers Choose '25 Worst Figures In American History'
The blog Right Wing News asked "more than a hundred bloggers" who they thought were the worst people in American history. The results may shock you! Or maybe not. Jane Fonda makes the cut, along with FDR. Let's look.
This question was put out to over 100 crazies with internet connections:
Out of all the gangsters, serial killers, mass murderers, incompetent & crooked politicians, spies, traitors, and ultra left-wing kooks in all of American history — have you ever wondered who the worst of the worst was?"
Some of the answers are a given, but some (Richard Nixon?!) are a little surprising considering who did the voting. And some are actually pretty good (Michael Moore, Timothy McVeigh). Those questioned were asked to rank as many as 20 people from America's past and present who they felt fit the bill. Here are the results, from 43 bloggers who responded:
23) Saul Alinsky (7)
23) Bill Clinton (7)
23) Hillary Clinton (7)
19) Michael Moore (7)
19) George Soros (8)
19) Alger Hiss (8)
19) Al Sharpton (8)
13) Al Gore (9)
13) Noam Chomsky (9)
13) Richard Nixon (9)
13) Jane Fonda (9)
13) Harry Reid (9)
13) Nancy Pelosi (9)
11) John Wilkes Booth (10)
11) Margaret Sanger (10)
9) Aldrich Ames (11)
9) Timothy McVeigh (11)
7) Ted Kennedy (14)
7) Lyndon Johnson (14)
5) Benedict Arnold (17)
5) Woodrow Wilson (17)
4) The Rosenbergs (19)
3) Franklin Delano Roosevelt (21)
2) Barack Obama (23)
1) Jimmy Carter (25)
One surprising omission is John Hinckley, Jr., the man who shot The Greatest Conservative of All Time, Ronald Reagan. Any others? Keith Olbermann, perhaps?
I actually survived that mess.
Biggest surprise? Helen Thomas isn't on the list.
I’d add Alfred Kinsey to that list and Alexander Hamilton.
Some of those bloggers must be young, because some of the names could have been replaced with much more substantive names.
In another couple of years, this will be
[tie]
1) Harry Reid (24)
1) Nancy Pelosi (24)
1) Barack Obama (24)
No Ted Turner?
And Cass Sunstein and William Ayers.. pure evil.
And there should a list of “organizations most threatening to America” such as ACLU, ACORN, Center for American Progress, TIDES foundation, Apollo Alliance, etc..
I would have added John Dewey to the list.
That’s what I was thinking-Michael Moore? Al Sharpton? Noam Chomsky? Really? These guys are idiots sure, but worthy of the “Worst Figures In American History”?
I would put Hillary higher on the list than Bill. Only one number between them?
Mr Peanut! :D
Well to be completely fair, Obama’s only had 18 months (not 2 years)
Old man Kennedy made these guys look like pikers. The things he did against this country for his own profit or power or prestige is nauseating.
Where’s Walter O’Malley?
Rachael Carson
For the damage they’ve cause just in the past 60 years and not mentioned? Herbert Marcuse {the fouder of Cultural Marxism in America}, Dr Ben Spock, Madilyn Murray O’Hare, Hugh Hefner, Timothy Leary, Dr Death, & Judge Greer.
Chuck Schumer? Robert Byrd? Chris Matthews? Dan Rather? Bryant Gumbel? Pat Lahey? Bernard Sanders? The NAACP? Jesse Jackson, Sr.? Al Sharpton, Jr.?...
Bill Buckner
